beneath the surface: making underwater images communicate

where to invest that most precious resource: our time…

This Wednesday 11th June, with the help of Alex Mustard, Ocean Leisure Cameras and Dived Up publications, I will launch a book of which I am proud. I hope that it will answer something about how we invest that most precious resource when we’re engaged in underwater photography: our time.

“Winning Images with Any Underwater Camera” addresses photographic composition in depth. The investment that you’re really making if you commit to a book like this is not money. By any measure in the underwater photography world that you might use, a book is not expensive. The biggest investment that we can make is setting aside time to learn something that might help us become better underwater photographers.

If you’re not already committed to joining us at Ocean Leisure Cameras this Wednesday at 6:30pm onwards, do consider buying a copy of the book. I believe that it will push you – like me – a few steps further towards making images that might count. Crucially for me, this means engaging those outside of our community who also need to see what the underwater world is about. We can inspire those people with our images to support the policies that we more instinctively embrace: to protect the lakes, rivers & oceans that are home to those beautiful creatures that we all have the privilege to interact with.
